Set within the prestigious Hawksdown Estate, this substantial six-bedroom detached house offers genuine family space and a very large private plot. The home benefits from solar panels, gas central heating, and double glazing, while the ground floor’s open, dual-aspect reception rooms suit everyday family life and entertaining. Nearby outstanding primary and secondary schools, easy rail links to London, and the attractive Walmer/Deal seafront add strong lifestyle appeal.
Internally the layout delivers flexibility: three reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast room with utility, and five doubles plus a single sixth bedroom (currently a study). Two ensuites and a family bathroom accommodate busy households. A double garage and wide driveway provide secure parking for multiple vehicles.
The property was built in the 1960s and shows mid-century character, but requires cosmetic updating throughout; many fittings and decorative finishes are dated. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive — both practical considerations for a modern family or someone working from home. EPC rating C and no known flood risk are positives.
This house suits a growing family seeking space, a large garden and scope to add value by modernising. It also appeals to buyers looking for a substantial family home in an affluent, peaceful suburb with excellent schools and good transport links. Be prepared for updating works and potential broadband improvements.
